For the Golden Globes, Deschanel won our hearts with her mod cat-eyes courtesy of makeup artist Jorjee Douglass. Using Rimmel products, Douglass blended black and silver shadows along the lid to create the swooping shape, concentrating black shadow in the crease for dimension. A back-and-forth swipe of liquid liner along the top lashline, and a few feathery strokes of black pencil along the bottom one were the final touches. (As was a generous coating of rich mascara.)

From her retro ponytail to her wild nail art, Deschanel had fun with her Golden Globes look. "We always love to go very '60s with Zooey's makeup, so we looked to Brigitte Bardot and Twiggy for inspiration," said her makeup artist Jorjee Douglass. "We went with a modern version of the look that made her blue eyes pop." Douglas layered two Tarte products to create a custom lip hue for the star, starting with the Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick in Bold. Using her fingers, she dabbed on the coral color to create a stain, then swept the LipSurgence Lip Tint in Delighted on top.
